What is Montessori?

The Montessori Method is an educational approach that has been used in classrooms all over the world for more than 100 years. It’s a philosophy and method of education that promotes rigorous, self-directed growth in all areas of a child’s development, with the objective of cultivating each child’s inherent desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

The Montessori Method: Education for Life

See how the Montessori method and philosophy creates learning environments that allow children to reach their full potential in this short introductory video. The proven developmental and child-centered principles of the Montessori philosophy can help all children flourish in learning and in life, regardless of their background or learning style.

Our family truly found a second home at Pearlily Montessori. The teachers always go above and beyond. It’s apparent that they have a deep passion for Montessori education, and nurturing the whole child. I appreciate their frequent use of the Brightwheel app– throughout the day, I receive pictures and videos. Pearlily provides a personal, well-rounded, and involved environment for your child. I absolutely recommend Pearlily.

Pearlily Montessori has been a wonderful school for my daughter. The teachers are caring and very knowledgeable about the Montessori method. My daughter loves doing her “work” which continues to help her grow in independence and confidence. The class sizes are in line with the Montessori approach and philosophy, and the classroom community is very close-knit.

From a parent’s perspective there are a lot of good things to be said about the Pearlily Team but what matters at the end of the day is that our son likes to go to Pearlily and enjoys his time there, which I think is the biggest compliment.

Exploring the Montessori 100 Board

Montessori math materials are renowned for their ability to transform abstract concepts into concrete learning experiences, and the 100 Board is no exception. A cornerstone of the Montessori math curriculum, the 100 Board introduces children to numerical order, patterns, and the base-10 system in an engaging, hands-on way.

Building Self-Confidence and Resilience Through Self-Competition

In Montessori education, we take a unique approach to motivation and competition. Rather than encouraging children to compete with one another, we focus on helping them strive to better themselves. This foundation of internal motivation and self-competition equips Montessori students with invaluable skills that prepare them for real-world challenges, including healthy competition.

The Power of Choice in Montessori

A common misconception about Montessori education is that children are left to do whatever they please, all the time. In reality, while Montessori students are encouraged to make choices and explore their interests, this freedom is guided by thoughtful boundaries and limitations that support independence, responsibility, and respect for others.
